tess-cli 0.38.0

A less-style terminal pager for files, pipes, and live logs — with structured-log filtering, pretty-printing (JSON/YAML/TOML/XML/HTML/CSV), ANSI passthrough, multi-file navigation, and ctags jumping. Rust, macOS + Linux.

//! System-clipboard access by shelling out to OS tools. No external crates.
//!
//! macOS: pbcopy / pbpaste. Linux: wl-copy/wl-paste (Wayland) -> xclip -> xsel.
//! A missing tool yields an Err the caller surfaces on the status line.
